Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 35

She devoured the duck leg in large bites, Luo Yunhuan hadn’t enjoyed herself like this in a long time. Her delicate pink lips glistened with oil, but Qin Yiqiu didn’t find it unappealing.

Instead, she calmly retrieved a handkerchief from her storage ring and patiently wiped the corners of Luo Yunhuan’s mouth.

After a satisfying meal, Luo Yunhuan had cleaned her plate completely, the dishes at this tavern were simply too delicious.

“At this rate, the incense will burn out in just two or three days.”

Qin Yiqiu glanced at the incense, which had already burned halfway. The incense ashes in the burner were overflowing, and she would need to clean them out later.

“Mhm.”

“I’ll obediently reflect these next few days and thoroughly study the sect’s rules. Senior Sister, you don’t need to worry about me.”

Luo Yunhuan rubbed her full belly, her eyes narrowed in contentment. This meal felt like the most comfortable and delightful one she’d had since transmigrating.

And to think it was Qin Yiqiu, a stunning beauty, who had brought it to her. It was as if that added a special buff, making the food taste even sweeter.

“You’re very obedient, so I’m not worried about you. It’s just that lately, during my meditation and cultivation, I’ve been struggling with distractions and haven’t made much progress. Our master suggested I lead a team to explore a secret realm.”

“If you’d like to come, you’re welcome to join. It’s good to broaden your horizons outside, and with me protecting you, there won’t be any danger.”

In truth, Qin Yiqiu wanted to take her out for some fun. After much contemplation, she concluded that sometimes one must break through to rebuild. If she wanted this trial of love to become real, then she and her junior sister should do everything that needed to be done.

In the end, severing the ties of affection completely would allow her to overcome this trial one that often dragged her into the quagmire of desire and risked causing her to lose control.

But being shy and reserved, she found it difficult to speak openly about such matters. So, she could only extend the invitation in this roundabout way.

Luo Yunhuan naturally wouldn’t pass up any chance to spend time with her senior sister. She nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation.

“Which secret realm are you going to, Senior Sister?”

Unfortunately, the original novel lacked a clear main plot, focusing mostly on romantic entanglements and rarely venturing beyond the sect.

Luo Yunhuan could recall very little information from her memory, so she had to ask Qin Yiqiu and rely on her system’s powerful search function to prepare.

“The Mystic Moon Secret Realm. Over thirty sects will be participating this time. It’s a good opportunity to see the world. There are many rare herbs inside, and I’ve heard there are several ancient masters’ hidden abodes as well.”

Secret realms were usually ancient battlefields or places rich in spiritual energy, as only such locations had the potential to house the hidden abodes of powerful cultivators, along with high-level rare beasts and herbs.

“As an outer sect disciple, you probably wouldn’t know about this.”

Qin Yiqiu gently stroked her nearly transparent, ice-blue storage ring. Her fingers were long and elegant, with distinct knuckles, and the ring added an air of noble grace to her appearance.

“I have a copy of ‘Records of the Cultivation Continent’s Scenery and Customs’ here. It contains some information about the academies and secret realms. You can study it carefully.”

Luo Yunhuan hadn’t expected Qin Yiqiu to be so thorough. Did Senior Sister plan to invite her from the very beginning?

Nevertheless, she reached out and accepted the book.

“Thank you, Senior Sister.”

Luo Yunhuan’s red lips curved into a smile, her demeanor unusually docile. Perhaps intentionally, as she took the book, her abdomen lightly brushed against Qin Yiqiu’s cool fingertips.

It made one’s heart race.

The icy blue eyes blinked shut.

A well-behaved child like Qin Yiqiu would never think that Luo Yunhuan, that seductive fox, was trying to tempt her. Instead, she would only believe that her own heart was impure, overthinking things.

This was merely an accidental touch while handing over the book.

Qin Yiqiu withdrew her fingers as if she had been shocked by electricity.

Luo Yunhuan had actually done it on purpose. Seeing the other person react so strongly, she couldn’t help but feel secretly delighted. She didn’t know how it was in other novels, but in this world’s stories, the path of heartlessness didn’t mean having nothing in one’s eyes or heart.

Moreover, teasing her was especially fun.

But if she went any further, it would become too obvious. Luo Yunhuan knew when to stop and held the exquisitely covered travelogue close to her chest.

“Thank you, Senior Sister.”

“After all, I’ve been quite bored on my own. Going out to see the world will also help with my cultivation.”

“Alright.”

Qin Yiqiu managed only a single word, as if it had been squeezed out of her throat with great difficulty. She stood up, somewhat flustered, tidied the food box, and with slightly unsteady steps, she even had to hold onto the doorframe as she left a rare sight.

“All I did was touch her hand.”

Luo Yunhuan pressed her own fingers. There wasn’t any poison on them.

As her words faded, Qin Yiqiu’s graceful blue figure vanished from sight, leaving Luo Yunhuan alone, sitting on the meditation cushion with the book in her arms.

[Host, your strategy was brilliant!]

The system suddenly spoke, its words dripping with flattery. Luo Yunhuan was baffled until she noticed the system had popped up a message about an increase in affection points.

Though it was only 0.2.

But to think that all she had done was impulsively touch Qin Yiqiu’s hand for a moment.

The contact hadn’t even lasted a second, yet it had earned her 0.2 affection points. It was an unexpected delight.

Luo Yunhuan was quite satisfied.

Holding the book, a faint blush spread across her cheeks. She knew she wasn’t merely trying to win Qin Yiqiu over. Each tease and flirtation if she didn’t genuinely like her, she wouldn’t have enjoyed it so much.

Besides, back in the cave,

it wasn’t just Qin Yiqiu who had felt pleasure; Luo Yunhuan had relished it too.

Even if it was just a dream, it was indeed her first intimate experience.

By the candlelight in the ancestral hall, Luo Yunhuan opened the travelogue. It meticulously depicted the mountains, rivers, and seas of the cultivation world, with green leaves swaying in the wind. One had to admit, the books in this cultivation realm were far more beautiful than those in the real world.

Some even featured real scenes, embedded in the pages with thin memory stones. Such high-quality books were clearly not the public copies from the library.

They must be Senior Sister’s personal belongings.

Sure enough, after flipping through just a few pages, Luo Yunhuan discovered densely packed annotations.

Bringing it closer, she could even catch a faint scent of sandalwood the same kind Qin Yiqiu burned in her private quarters.

Luo Yunhuan slowly turned the pages. The travelogue mostly recorded landscapes and the origins of various place names, allowing her to gain a more precise understanding of this cultivation world.

There was no other way. The author had only focused on describing the female lead’s beauty and the rivalries among the men.

None of the broader world-building had been written, so even though she had read the original novel, it was as if she hadn’t.

Luo Yunhuan greedily absorbed the knowledge from the travelogue.

Finally, Luo Yunhuan flipped to the page about the Mystic Moon Secret Realm, her finger pausing as she gazed at the breathtakingly beautiful illustration a perfectly round and luminous moon.

The moon was reflected on the vast surface of a lake, with undulating mountain ranges stretching behind it. However, due to the dim light, the terrain remained somewhat indistinct.

Mystic Moon Secret Realm: In ancient times, this was a land abundant with spiritual energy, attracting countless powerful cultivators to establish their abodes here. Over the ages, as time passed, the spiritual energy of the Mystic Moon Secret Realm severely diminished.

The realm earned its name because, during specific periods, influenced by the secret realm’s unique properties, a colossal full moon would appear above the lake.

It is said that this moon possesses the power to bewitch the human heart.

Anyone who lays eyes upon the full moon will face trials of their innermost desires.

Yet, for nearly a millennium, no one has witnessed the Mystic Moon.
